As part of two major announcements due in October, The Institute for Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installers will be unveiling a restructured accreditation offering, which will include five tiers of membership, following feedback from the industry.

Precise details of the restructure will be published within October's iKBBI Installer Magazine, due out on 21st October, followed by a communication to members shortly after.

"The restructure will bring enormous benefit to our existing members, as well as opening up the institute reach to thousands more within the industry," says iKBBI operations manager Claire Walters.

"The restructure will double our membership subscriptions within the next two years and will, for the first time, be relevant to the entire industry. The new tiers will map the entire installation fraternity, right from industry newcomers to those experienced installers who have a lot to offer.

"Skeptics would assume a restructure means a price hike, but the reality is that we'll be providing hundreds of free options, four new categories of accreditation and we'll even be reducing fees for those who show long term commitment to the institute and our objectives" says Claire.
